I've found a combination of mint and lemon to be really good at keeping away pests of all sorts, and it smells really nice. Looking it up, it seems like lemongrass and lavender are supposed to be especially good for bedbugs.

Hmmm...What about...Southern USA small townscape with some dives akin to Wafflehouse, rib joints diners etc. maybe some upper middle class houses. I don't see many of those around, then again i am born five-minutes-ago new to this program.

It depends. Since I'm doing pixel art, if I do it as a full multiple, like %200 or %300, and don't add any smoothing, then it doesn't change the look at all, just makes the pixels huge. If I were to scale up with non-pixel art then yeah, it makes it look all fuzzy and low quality. I'd use Waifu2x or something though, something better than what GIMP or PS comes with.

Just one clothing item for a full sprite is medium hard. I could do it in a day if I spent a good chunk of time. But most of the time you only need one direction for a priest and that would be a small request.

I don't think so, but I am certainly not against someone using it that way. Whatever works for you! Personally, I think if you're going to match it to an RTP, it matches XP better. It needs a palette change, but that's easy enough when you're dealing with pixel art.
